A Deal in the Shadows

last update 최신 업데이트: 2025-02-01 20:20:41

Caden’s knowing smile lingered in my mind long after he disappeared, leaving me alone in the dimly lit kitchen. My heart raced, and my breaths came shallow as I stared at the shattered pieces of the cup on the floor. His words clung to me like a second skin, both tantalizing and terrifying.

How did he know about the Lunaris Hemlock? And why had no one else told me?

I sank into the nearest chair, my body trembling with the weight of the revelation. My blood wasn’t just different. It had been deliberately tampered with. By who? My father? Duncan? Someone else entirely?

The room felt colder and emptier without Caden’s unnerving presence, but his offer hung heavy in the air. To awaken my wolf, to finally stand beside Duncan as his equal, I had to make a deal with the devil. But would Duncan see it that way?

The thought of his reaction made my stomach twist. I’d promised to help him take down my father, yet here I was, making secret bargains with the Vampire King. Would Duncan ever

  • Auctioned To The Wolf King    My Wolf's Awakening

    Duncan’s eyes narrowed as he stepped closer, his presence making my pulse stutter. The afternoon sun filtered through the trees, casting long shadows over the garden, but I felt exposed under his gaze. I curled my fingers behind me, pressing my injured wrist against my back, willing the wound to close before he noticed. Even though I didn't have my wolf, I still had my healing abilities. “What are you doing out here?” His voice was steady, but there was something beneath it. Something edged with suspicion.I forced a casual shrug, even as my heart pounded. “Just needed some air.”His gaze flickered to my hand, his wolf-sharp senses picking up something I couldn’t hide. I shifted, angling my body away from him, but it was too late. His fingers caught my wrist before I could react, his grip firm but not harsh.“April.” His tone was low, unreadable. “You’re hurt.”I swallowed hard. I couldn’t tell if it was an observation or an accusation. Having no other option, I exposed my hand letti

  • Auctioned To The Wolf King    Unleashed Under the Moon

    "April! April!" Duncan's voice echoed loudly in my ears. I felt so different after what happened. I could feel it. My wolf lingered deep inside me. I gasped as my body trembled, my senses overwhelmed by the flood of power coursing through me. Every sound was sharper, every scent richer, every heartbeat in the room like a steady drum in my ears. My wolf. She was there, fully awake, stretching within me like she had always belonged. The room was deathly silent, all eyes fixed on me. I could feel their uncertainty, their fear. I pushed myself up, my fingers gripping the cold stone beneath me. Duncan was crouched beside me, his hands firm on my shoulders, but it was the look in his eyes that shook me the most. Relief mixed with something else. Something wary. Michael’s voice cut through the silence like a blade. “This is wrong,” he said, his expression hard. “The Moon Goddess does not grant wolves to those born without them. This is not her blessing. It’s something else.” I clench

  • Auctioned To The Wolf King    Unleashed Under The Full Moon (2)

    DUNCAN April's wolf was the most beautiful wolf I had ever seen. Her beautiful silver fur glistened in the room and I could see everyone was as stunned as I was. Her wolf was strong and very domineering unlike any I had seen. Watching as she moved around, I stepped forward expecting her to recognize me as I held her wolf's gaze. She was my mate, after all. " Is she refusing to submit to the Wolf King?" Melissa asked, trying to cause more trouble, and April's wolf seemed to be stirred by it. Melissa's voice instantly turned the attention of April's wolf to her. Her gaze changed and I could see that something was wrong. Almost as if April was in no control of her wolf like I did. "Duncan," Melissa said as she saw April's wolf. April’s wolf let out a deep, menacing growl, her silver fur standing on end as she turned her piercing gaze toward Melissa. A fierce, untamed energy flickered in her golden eyes, something raw and dangerous that sent a chill down my spine. My heart po

  • Auctioned To The Wolf King    The Crown and the Knife

    APRIL My eyes flickered open the moment Duncan asked about the ring. Opening my eyes, I could see his eyes narrow as he looked at the ring. Did he know?My fingers curled instinctively into a fist, concealing it before he could speak. He couldn’t know. Not yet. "Just a ring my mother left for me." I lied holding his gaze as I stood. I turned away, letting the hot spray from the shower mask the panic rising in my chest. The water coursed over my skin, but it couldn't wash away the fear. I had fought too hard for this moment. To become Duncan’s Wolf Queen and claim my place beside him. I couldn’t afford his doubt. Not when I was this close. When I officially become Duncan's Wolf Queen, I would be able to have the power to search for my mother's remains. Even my father would not be able to go against me then. " Let me help you." Duncan said, his voice rough as he took the sponge from my hand. Duncan reached out turning me around and I let him. Closing my eyes, I relaxed in

    "I'll just get going." I said removing my hand from Duncan's. I tried to walk past Duncan when suddenly, he grabbed my hand again. My gaze darted to him with questioning gaze. " Whatever you have to say, say it in front of April. She is my Wolf Queen now." Duncan said as his hand tightened around mine. I couldn't believe it. Duncan was not leaving me for Melissa. Duncan's gaze turned to mine and I could see the determination in his eyes. Melissa's eyes flicked to our joined hands. Her lips parted, but no words came out at first. She looked... lost. Like she hadn’t expected Duncan to say that especially not in front of me. "I just..." she began, her voice soft, almost breaking. "I wanted to say I’m sorry. For everything." I blinked. Sorry? From Melissa? That wasn’t what I had expected. Duncan said nothing, his hand still firm around mine, grounding me like an anchor in a storm. Melissa looked down at her feet, then back up at Duncan. “You chose her. I can see that now. A

  • Auctioned To The Wolf King    A Tangle Of Rogues

    "Rogues?" I whispered as panic coiled in my stomach. I was without a wolf now so I could not change or defend myself. Rogues were dangerous. Dangerous because once you were beaten by them, there was a huge possiblity you might not survive. They were stronger than most werewolves, more faster. " Who sent you? What do you want?" I asked staring at them as they circled me slowly entrapping me with no way to run. One of them snarled, baring yellowed teeth, his eyes glowing with a wild hunger. He looked more beast than man, his clothes torn and stained with old blood. The others were no better. They all had red eyes and scary looking faces. They didn’t answer. Instead, the tallest one stepped forward, his bare feet silent on the damp forest floor. His presence was suffocating. Power rolling off him like he was dangerous. "Wolf Queen, don't blame us. It's your fault for getting entangled with Duncan Blackwood." He said snarling as he talked. Duncan? Were they here becau

  • Auctioned To The Wolf King    The Fracture Point

    DUNCAN I stared at the pictures that Melissa had given me. It was April standing with a man that I barely recognized. His face was covered with a black cloak so I couldn't see it and plus April was standing in front of him. I turned to April slightly checking her reaction as she saw them. She didn't flinch or anything. Melissa stared at me intensely as if she was waiting for me to get angry. I knew better than to give her what she wanted. " This is not April." I said denying it even if the evidence was right in front of me. My wolf growled angrily wanting answers as I wanted. She was my mate. Mine. She shouldn't be with any other man. " Duncan, you can't be serious." Melissa said scoffing at me as if I was a fool. "I just told you that your mate was with another man. The pictures are proof." " These pictures must be fake, Melissa. I have always known that you are jealous. You want me back. However insulting my mate is something I will never tolerate. She is not a cheat

    APRIL "Help!" The voice was low. Barely above a whisper yet I could hear it. I had been in my room when I suddenly heard it. Something stirred in me and my heart ached. Suddenly, my eyes widened as I realized who it was. Duncan. I rushed out of my room running up the stairs. It was not the full moon neither was anyone attacking. What was happening to Duncan? Without a single thought, I headed to his room. Just as I was about to reach there, Emmett appeared out of nowhere. His eyes glared wolf as he tried to stop me but I wasn't having it. I needed to go and save Duncan. "Get out of my way." I warned angrily as I stared at him. " Wolf Queen," He mocked. "You are not getting in my way this time. No one is going to save that miserable wolf." "Duncan is my mate. If you want to harm him, you're going to have to go through me first." I said gritting my teeth as I stared at him. Both of us stood glaring at each other. Emmett had his wolf already to the surface but I di
